Re: “EBNC w/Home Keys, Mike Vulcan & Hobbledeions”
So, it's 2011. You've already heard Beck & Bjork and maybe you've already progressed from Matmos & Merzbow to Tobacco & Dan Deacon. Hell, maybe you're an old school experimental cat who can quote John Cage and has a Caselogic filled with Residents & Haters cassettes.
But if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's time to listen up. Music isn't all nice, neat and pretty, anymore. Sure you can still find it on boring old commercial radio rehashing the same trite formulas and chord progressions used to sell your grandparents Crystal Pepsi, but to truly progress as a society, somebody's gotta break something.
That's where this event comes in. We've contacted a noise legend and gathered some of Nashville's finest music pioneers and assembled them into a VOLTRON-esque pile of soundwaves and squeals. Beats and bile. Bits of solder and crimped wire overheated and melted into an evening of pure adrenaline.
Starting the night off we bring to you...
HOME KEYS [ASDFJKL;] - The amazing Seth Gravy (Casio Casanova, Tigers Con Queso), he's "Just One Guy" fronting an 8-Bit Hip Pop Punk Party Rock Ensemble striving to make stupid, simple, loud, noisy punk songs to a nintendo beat.
Mike Vulcan - Sick as Hell DJ known locally for his Drum & Bass/Dubstep sets. [Mashville / Everything's Nice] He's branching out into the future on this one and this show will see him reach to unknown levels of OOOOHHHHH FUUUUCCCKKKK.
Hobbledeions - The backbone of some of Nashville's more revered music projects such as Forrest Bride, Hands Off Cuba and KORT, this solo project of drummer Scott Martin finds him exploring extravagant patterns to the akimbo squelches of a noise filled MPC 1000. Like Venetian Snares eating a Vangelis CD, then bringing order to the chaos with slender wooden sticks.
To top the night off, we have brought to you...
EBNC - West North Carolina's Noise Leader!!! All the way from Asheville to Nashville, this distortion processed bitcrusher, self-oscillating delay and variable-pass filter effect laden electroacoustic improvisationalist, uses a unique mix of hand-built and modified electronic equipment, modular DSP programming, field recordings and damaged media sources to produce his sound, which ranges from a soothing ambient wash to harsh mind-blowing noise.
You can see this show and bear witness to the innovations currently being introduced to sonic wizardry, or wait a few years until the music industry co-opts it and repackages it for Top 40 Pop Radio, quicker than Britney Spears can say Dubstep.
